Do you remember a black hour? Sitting in the dark and narration of ghost stories, closeness and at the same time the desire to experience something a little scary. It was a traditional form of sharing that was created long ago by B -horror movie horror movies. Led by a taste of look into the eyes, not to squeeze it somewhere outside the field of vision, as we are used to in our would -be smooth culture. The Death of Jan Vyciska dressed in a folk -hungry costume moving on a full gas on a motorcycle is a bit of a bridge of black watches and today's accelerated times when we may have to afford to stop and enjoy together or in the dark for a while. He worried a little and at the same time feels alive.
